The reining champion has ended McLaren's drought. Lando Norris is seen eating rice pudding, while track temperatures hit 50 degrees with a developing wind. Martin Brundle interacts with various figures on the grid, including Laurence Stroll, who is satisfied with Aston Martin. Adrian Newey, initially absent, eventually appears and comments on the limited preparation time, observing the McLaren. Herbie Blash and Joe Ramirez, both Grand Prix veterans, share nostalgic reflections on past Hungarian GPs. The grid presence is noted to be less celebrity-laden compared to more glamorous tracks, lacking figures like David Beckham or Tom Brady. Bono, Antonelli's associate, describes Antonelli's penalty as "a bit rough" but highlights their advantageous grid position. Casey Stoney, a biking legend, expresses mixed feelings about the complex regulations but appreciates the power. The event proceeds to the national anthem.
